-
Titus Titus one Paul, a servant of God and an
-
apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith
-
of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth which
-
accords with Godliness in the hope of eternal life, which God,
-
who never lies, promised before the ages began, and at
-
the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching
-
with which I have been entrusted by the command of
-
God our Savior, to Titus, my true child, in a
-
common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and
-
Christ Jesus our Savior. This is why I left you
-
in crete, so that you might put what remained into
-
order and appoint elders in every town as I directed you.
-
If anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife
-
and his children are believers and not open to the
-
charge of debauchery or insubordinate. For an overseer, as God's stewart,
-
must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or
-
quick tempered, or a drunkard, or violent or greedy for gain,
-
but hospitable, a lover of good, self controlled, upright, wholly,
-
and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word
-
as taught, so that he may be able to give
-
instruction in sound doctrine, and also to rebuke those who
-
contradict it. For there are many who are insubordinate, empty
-
talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. They
-
must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by
-
teaching for shame for gain what they ought not to teach.
-
One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said,
-
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. This testimony
-
is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply that they may be
-
sound in the faith, not devoting themselves to Jewish myths
-
and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
-
To the pure. All things are pure, but to the
-
defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure. But both their minds
-
and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God,
-
but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient,
-
unfit for any good work Titus two. But as for you,
-
teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to
-
be sober minded, dignified, self controlled, sound in faith, in love,
-
and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent
-
in behavior, or slaves too much wine. They are to
-
teach what is good, and so train the young women
-
to love their husbands and children, to be self controlled, purer,
-
working at home, kind, submissive to their own husbands, that
-
the word of God may not be reviled. Likewise, urge
-
the younger men to be self controlled, show yourself in
-
all respects, to be a model of good works, and
-
in your teaching, show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that
-
cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put
-
to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. Slaves
-
are to be submissive to their own masters in everything.
-
They are to be well pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering,
-
but showing all good faith, so that in everything they
-
may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior for the
-
grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.
-
Training to renounce on godliness and worldly passions, and to
-
live self controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age,
-
waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory
-
of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave
-
himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness, and
-
to purify for himself a people for his own possession,
-
who are zealous for good works. Declare these things exhort
-
and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
-
Titus three. Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities,
-
to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
-
to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to
-
be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
-
For we ourselves were once foolish disobedient. Let us stray
-
slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in
-
malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
-
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God, our
-
Savior appeared, he saved us not because of works done
-
by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,
-
by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
-
whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ,
-
our Savior, so that, being justified by His grace, we
-
might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
-
The saying is trustworthy. And I want you to insist
-
on these things, so that those who have believed in
-
God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.
-
These things are excellent and profitable for people. But avoid
-
foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for
-
they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who
-
stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice,
-
have nothing more to do with him. Knowing that such
-
a person is warmthed and sinful, he is self condemned.
-
When I send Artemis or Tichoicus to you, do your
-
best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have
-
decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to
-
speed Zenis the lawyer and Apolus on their way. See
-
that they lack nothing. And let our people learn to
-
devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases
-
of urgent need and not be unfruitful. All who are
-
with me send greetings to you, greet those who love
-
us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Oh,
-
I always have my n
